Big Water: The Making of the Borderlands Between Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay ed. by Jacob Blanc and Frederico Freitas

THIS COLLECTIVE VOLUME IS ONE OF the first attempts to compile a history of the "Triple Frontier," based on original research and primary sources, for English-speaking publics. The editors argue resolutely for a transnational approach to a trans-border region whose main centers are respectively Ciudad del Este (Paraguay), Foz do Iguaçu (Brazil) and Puerto Iguazú (Argentina). The volume challenges national and nationalistic narratives which have long prevailed in existing historiographies on the making of the respective frontiers.
